Dear Sir, 

Will you do me the favor to let Mr. Rolx-rt Brooke and Mrs. 
Sarah Brooke know that on the fourth of September next, Mr. Madi- 
son intends to proceed to di\'ide the Brookes !)>• tract of land, acctird-

divided according to a survey made by Mr. William Bell in presence 
of Mr. Robert Brooke, or must be surveyed by the County surveyor, 
which will be both troublesome and expensive; at the same time please 
to inform them that if the\- will each of them pay ore-lifth of £140 
and costs, Mr. Madison will accept it S: convey his title to them 
without further trouble, which terms Mr. Carter Braxton and Mr. 
George Brooke for their parts are willing to accept of. Their answers

The Site of Old "James Towne,"' 1607-1698. A Brief Historical and 
Topographical Sketch of the First American Metropolis. Illus- 
trated with Original Maps, Drawings and Photographs. By 
Samuel H. Yonge. "Redivivixm est ex vetusto renovatum." — 
Festus. Tercentenary Edition. The Hermitage Press, Inc., 1907, 
pp. 151, with 17 maps and illustrations. 

Mr. Yonge's notable book, considerably enlarged, now appears in 
what is practically a third edition. Its importance as a contribution 
to Virginia history and antiquities was recognized as soon as it 
made its appearance. 

Prior to the publication of the results of the author's investigations 
there was practically no information in regard to the topography and 
history of old Jamestown. The total destruction of the county records 
precluded reference to deeds, etc., which might have thrown light on 
the old capital, and none of the early printed accounts gave any 
description minute enough to be of real value. Various writers in 
" the 19th century placed the site of the town west of the church, and 
therefore declared that most of it was under water. Even such a 
careful student as Mr. Tyler in the first edition of "The Cradle of 
the Republic," though he had made a personal examination on the 
spot, fell into the same error. 

Mr. Yonge, while designing and erecting the splendid sea-wall, 
which now protects the island from destruction by the river, was 
much at Jamestown, and had necessarily to make surveys by land 
and water. As his interest in the site of the first colony grew, he 
went more carefully into all that had been published in regard to 
Jamestown, and at leisure hours copied and plotted many old land 
grants for tracts on the island. After many months of laborious 
work, with nights given up to the study, he at last found a key to 
the location of the old public buildings, dwellings and other struc- 
tures, and was, to a great extent, able to reconstruct the old town. 
Even the site of the first landing place was ascertained. To Ameri- 
cans the story of how these discoveries were made is even more 
fascinating than that of Pompeii. The work could only have been 
accomplished by one who had the rare combination of skilled engineer 
and ardent and studious antiquary. 

"The Site of Old "James Towne"' contains, however, far more than
